Introduction
In an article published in
Revue des Etudes Juives in 1931, the historian Cecil Roth wrote about the
Conversos
in Livorno, Italy. He illustrated his article with the lists of members of two charity societies. The first one dating from 1644
deals with allocations to
Converso orphans who returned to Judaism. The second list dating from 1715 is about the members of
Bikur
Holim Society (Visiting the Ill). A total of 82 members.
Most of the surnames are typical converso names. Many given names are missing.
